"Music happens to be an art form that transcends language."
- Herbie Hancock
"Music is the universal language of mankind."
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
"Music is a great energizer. It's a language everybody knows."
- Bill Hicks
I totally agree with these quotations. Music is a universal language. It doesn't matter if you understand the lyrics of a song or not, what is important is that you enjoyed the music. This is what happens to a Korean song "Gangnam Style".
Only the Koreans understand what the song says but everybody loves it. They love it in Europe. It won Best Video in this year's 2012 MTV Europe Music Awards. The whole world loves it. As of this date, it is the number one most watched and the most liked music video in YouTube. The success of this Korean song only proves that music is truly an art that transcends language.
